Chicago Indoor Racing Challenge 8/26

WRAPUP: The Chicago MINI Motoring Club took a 6th place against some tough competition.  The 300 lap full track format, warm weather, and manditory driver changes and fuel strategy made for a marathon event.

Highlights/Lowlights included 3rd overall top lap time by Adam, and a not so nice pass attempt by another team that sent Marco into the wall hard enough  to damage his cart and knock the wind out of him.

Overall, it was a great evening of racing and a very fun time.  We also had the best looking cars lined up out in the parking lot (possibly with the exception of the Shelby Cobra and Daytona replicas). 

Also an extra special thanks to Blake, Anthony, Rob and Michelle coming out and cheering everyone on!!!

Cruise and Drive August 18th

WRAPUP: We left McD’s under cloudy skies with 15 MINIs and headed to Suicide Circle. It’s an experience you have to try.. even just once. We roll by the local airport and zip through a few nice little roads. Along the way, we pick up a 16th MINI, then lose one off the back before arriving at our rest stop near Ft Sheridan. While there, we pick up a cabrio and trek to our final destination – the golf range. Along the way, we parade through Sheridan Rd, the Glen, and turn heads at an VW Auto-X at OCC.

Free bucket of balls and mini golf for everyone!!! Thanks to everyone who came out for a roll in the ‘burbs.

Gimmick Rally – July 22nd

WRAPUP: About 20 cars attended this rally on a beautiful Sunday morning. We were given route sheets, and needed to solve clues for points and to determine many route directions. Participants lined up, and left at 2 minute intervalls.

After a couple hours of touring some fantastic back roads, getting lost, backtracking, chatting with an old lady selling a couch (but it won’t fit in my car.. What, you live in your car?), we gathered in Delafield for a fine meal and scoring the results.

Congratulations to Tom and Caren for winning the first and second place prizes, and thanks to the organizers for putting on such a fun event.
